function and action | histamine is a self-active substance widely existing in human tissues. it is generated by decarboxylation of histidine in the body and has the functions of promoting capillary relaxation and gastric juice secretion. It is usually present in the granules of mast cells and basophils as an inactive binding type, with more content in the skin, bronchial mucosa, intestinal mucosa and nervous system. When the body is subjected to physical and chemical stimulation or allergic reaction, it can cause these cells to degranulate, resulting in histamine release, binding to histamine receptors and producing biological effects. This causes inflammation and allergic diseases. It can make the patient's bronchoconstriction and mucus secretion. After the patient is exposed to the denatogen, the level of histamine can be seen in the serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. pharmacological effects can be divided into three subtypes: H1, H2 and H3. H1 effect: excite bronchial, gastrointestinal tract, uterine smooth muscle, dilate skin blood vessels, increase capillary permeability, slow atrial and atrioventricular node conduction, enhance contractility. H2 effect: Stimulate gastric juice secretion, dilate blood vessels, and excite the heart (positive inotropic and positive frequency effects). H3 effect: exists in the central and peripheral nerve end slightly, negative feedback regulation of histamine synthesis and release. |
Histamine poisoning | mainly occurs in coastal areas and areas where seafood is used. Fishes with high histamine content are mainly green-skinned red meat fish in marine fish, including mackerel and pond fish (scientific name is blue round fish). When the fish body is not fresh or spoilage, the bacteria decompose the histidine in the fish body into histamine, which increases the histamine content, which can cause allergic food poisoning after ingestion. The clinical manifestations of poisoning are acute onset, mild symptoms and quick recovery. Generally, the onset is 0.5~1 hour after eating. The main manifestations are: blushing, dizziness, headache, palpitation, fast pulse, chest tightness and respiratory stimulation. Some patients may have blurred vision, face swelling, lip edema, numbness of mouth, tongue and limbs, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, urticaria, flushing, etc. |
antihistamines | antihistamines currently used in clinical practice can be divided into the following three generations: the first generation: currently it is represented by diphenhydramine diphenhydramine, benazaine, promethazine promethazine, phenadine, tripiramine pyribenzamine, pominine, chlorpheniramine chlorpheniramine, chlorpheniramine, chlorpheniramine, etc, it has strong central nervous system inhibition. Diphenhydramine has anticholinergic effect, antiemetic and antihalo action is strong. The second generation: no sedative effect or mild sedative effect, and obvious cardiac toxicity (such as cetirizine, mequintazine, astemizole, avastatin, mizolastine, etc.). Mizolastine is effective in the treatment of nasal congestion. The third generation: fexofenadine, levocetirizine, dilotazidine, etc., are selective H1 receptor antagonists and cannot enter the brain through the blood-brain barrier, so they only work on peripheral H1 receptors, thus avoiding the side effects of central sedation caused by the first generation of histamine antagonists. |
biological activity | Histamine is an organic nitrogen-containing compound involved in local immune response, which regulates intestinal physiological functions and acts as a neurotransmitter. |
Use | Endogenous H1 and H2 histamine receptor agonists; H1 activates and moves Ca2 +; H2 activates and stimulates adenylate cyclase (adenylate cyclase) activity in neurons; Activate NO synthase; Vasodilator. |
Production method | It can be made by histidine decarboxylation. |
